Glady Borcela was 28 and a mother of three when she was shot during a night out in Miami on the night of Saturday, July 23, 2022. According to witnesses, she and a group of friends began the evening in South Beach and later moved downtown. While riding in an Uber SUV, an argument between Borcela and 24-year-old acquaintance Natalia Harrell reportedly escalated. Video from inside the vehicle allegedly shows Harrell reaching into her purse, a passenger trying to restrain her, and then a single gunshot after Borcela appeared to lunge toward Harrell. Emergency responders took Borcela to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Harrell turned herself in and was arrested on a second-degree murder charge; she appeared in bond court on July 26, 2022, and was ordered held without bond. Harrell pleaded not guilty on December 6, 2022, and her defense later said she would seek dismissal under Florida’s stand your ground law, claiming she feared for her life. The case remained pending and awaiting trial as of February 2023. If anyone witnessed the night in downtown Miami or has information about what happened in the Uber, please share what is known.
